I just tested my Access XP Runtime app on a virgin (no MS office istalled) PC. I found that the spell checker is not included in runtime install. Furthermore, it is available IF the user has Office XP installed PRIOR to installing my runtime app. The spell checker does not function at all with Office 97.

Does anyone have any experience with Office XP Runtime and spell checking? Are there any OCX spell checkers which work in Access Runtime?

If anyone is keeping score, that is two major misses for Access Runtime; no saving of Printer Page Setups (no printer saving either), and no spell checking. These are to components which are pretty much required for any kind of serious application development. Anyone from MS care to comment?
